Dr.Mike L.....that is haha

The sprag went bad in my trans back in Feb. up here in ND. I finally had time to take my truck down to him. crossed my fingers all 1500 miles since i didnt know what was wrong with my trans when i left. i had nasty, dirty, burnt oil in the trans, but no material in the pan. Pushed through the brakes like a SOB. Keep in mind ive been beating on this trans for 233k miles. (all documented on here,lol)

He did a full build with a Goerend R converter and PPE Pan minus billet parts. im back in ND with about 2k miles on the trans .

I can honestly say this is the best upgrade i have done to my truck. It put a smile back on my face that i haven't had in a loooong time. i run Duramax tuner max effort tuning ALL THE TIME and when i smash the pedal SHE GOES!!!!

Mike isnt cheap but in my mind you cant put a price on peace of mind especially up here in the middle of nowhere.

Lowest bidder isn't always the most cost effective. Take it to Mike and get it done right the first time. Doesn't pay to have someone practice on your Allison.

I think it's really impressive a stock 6 speed with I'm guessing a transgo Jr. lasted that long with big tires, big tunes, and a heavy foot.

When I mean it put a smile back on my face....I mean I'm in love with my truck all over again. She has a lot of miles on the original cp3, injectors, turbo......I kid you not she pulls HARD. Low 13's for sure.
